The sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the smooth marble floor. The entire room was bright and clean.

A European-style dining table in the dining room was occupied by two people. The butler was standing in an attentive position by the side, thinking. He still considered that the table was too long for two people. Having a meal sitting so far away seems strange.

Xu Yuan hadn’t slept well and the bags under her eyes showed it. She hadn’t worn makeup. Fortunately, her young skin had a good foundation and her complexion didn’t look bleak.

Meng Zhengrong glimpsed his wife while drinking porridge. There may be people in this world who don’t love money, but there is no one who doesn’t love beauty. When he wasn’t married, he also thought the same. His marriage was for the sake of his clan, but it was also pleasing to see a beautiful wife.

“Do you have any plans today?” Meng Zhengrong put down the porcelain bowl, looked at Xu Yuan, and asked.

Xu Yuan lowered her head and looked at the glutinous porridge in the porcelain bowl. Her voice was full of vigor and vitality: “Nothing.”　　

The emperor had several bad habits. As a person who is as strict as him, no one dared to correct him. Although she already knew that the person in front of her was not the emperor. Even if it was a reincarnation, he was still not her master. But she can not ignore his face. The reverence accumulated in all those years, couldn’t be erased just by the few words of self consolation. In fact, on second thought, this is not necessarily a bad thing. In this strange era, no matter how calm she was, there is always some fear. Looking at the familiar face, all her bad feelings that she thinks are weak strangely disappeared.

As long as this person was always here, even if it was just a body double of his Majesty to some extent, it is enough to reassure her heart.

This was the “belief” that everyone had in her time.　　

At least, there was a familiar face to her in this era.

Meng Zhengrong didn’t let Xu Yuan immerse herself in her world for too long. He said, “I won’t go to the company today. Let’s have a rest at home after breakfast, and we’ll go to the old house for dinner at noon.”　　

Although he knew Xu Yuan wouldn’t refuse, Meng Zhengrong added: “I’ve been away on a business trip for so long, so I should have dinner with my family when I come back.” He paused and added, “In a couple of days, father-in-law and mother-in-law are free, let’s have dinner with them.”　　

Xu Yuan pondered over it carefully. From her point of view, they said Meng Zhengrong is a strict person, at least in terms of etiquette.　　

She nodded softly: “Well, that should be.”　　

From last night back to now, Xu Yuan had shown meekness far beyond Meng Zhengrong’s understanding of her. He was silent for a while and said, “If anything happens when I’m not at home, you can tell me if you think it is necessary to tell me.”　　

“Okay.” Xu Yuan replied and continued to lower her head to drink the porridge.

Warm porridge goes down the throat into the stomach, warm.　　

After breakfast, Meng Zhengrong went to the study to deal with business, and Xu Yuan went back to the room consciously. She always put on makeup when she went out to meet people. She had nothing to do these days and studied the cosmetics of the original owner. Although she was pretending to be a eunuch for many years, the instinct of women who loved cosmetics in her body still existed. She quickly figured out how to use these bottles and cans.　　

She just knew how to use it. She has never worn makeup before, and she was still a rookie in terms of skill proficiency. Xu Yuan only dares to apply a layer of liquid foundation, then blushes and wears lipstick. The original owner’s eyebrows were beautiful, so she didn’t need to do her eyebrows.

Although it is only a simple makeup, Xu Yuan’s face had already brightened up. Xu Yuan was a natural beauty. Even simple makeup was enough for her. 

Meng Zhengrong also thought the same. Previously, Xu Yuan also used to be beautiful, but she always liked to wear heavy makeup. Although it was exquisite, it lacked some freshness that she should have at her age.Now she looked very good, Meng Zhengrong is several years older than Xu Yuan. In his thirty years of life, maybe he saw too many beautiful women with delicate makeup. He now prefers to see a little pure and clean people.　　

Of course, these are Meng Zhengrong’s inner thoughts, so he will not say it.

Xu Yuan subconsciously stepped behind Meng Zhengrong and followed him out of the villa, then in the car. The back seat of the car can accommodate three people. Xu Yuan and Meng Zhengrong occupy each side, leaving a place in the middle. When the driver saw this scene in the rearview mirror, he thought, if he didn’t know that these two people were a married couple. He would mistake them as Carpooling customers.

‘He is not the emperor, not the emperor, not the emperor, even if you sit side by side with him, you will not be beheaded,’ Xu Yuan has been consoling herself in her heart, which barely pressed the urge to jump out of the window.

Meng Old house was close to their villa, but because of a traffic accident. The two sides were wrangling, not letting anyone go, so it jammed.

“Ahem, ahem…”

Meng Zhengrong felt his throat was uncomfortable and coughed twice.

Xu Yuan, like a cat with fried hair, almost jumped up. She hurriedly asked without disguising her concern, “What’s the matter? Why are you coughing?”

As soon as she finished, she wanted to slap herself again.　　

Her caring attitude pleased Meng Zhengrong. His right hand closed into a fist, and he coughed twice on his lips. This time, he brought some smiles in his voice. “I am alright, it’s just my throat is a little dry.”

No one doesn’t dislike the feeling of being cared for, including Meng Zhengrong, and he can feel that Xu Yuan’s concern is from the heart.　　

“En, I am glad.” Xu Yuan looked at his face, scolded herself a few times in her heart, and then again comforted herself. Meng Zhengrong is her legal husband now, and if she cares about it, it is normal. She asked the driver, “Is there water in the car?”

The driver hurriedly parked the car on the side of the road, got off and ran to the back, opened the trunk, took two bottles of water from the inside, back to the car, handed the water to Xu Yuan and Meng Zhengrong.

Xu Yuan picked it up, but Meng Zhengrong was just like a blind person, and he didn’t move.

Before the driver felt embarrassed, Xu Yuan took the bottle of water for Meng Zhengrong with an unusual expression in her eyes. “Drink a little water. It will make your throat much more comfortable.”

Meng Zhengrong slowly took the bottle of water from Xu Yuan’s hand.

After drinking, his throat was comfortable. He looked at Xu Yuan several times and suddenly felt that he could expect her to be a good wife.

The car smoothly stopped at the door of the old house, Xu Yuan once again whipped herself several times in her heart. Only reluctantly resist the impulse of getting off the car first and then running to open the door for Meng Zhengrong.

Xu Yuan waited for Meng Zhengrong to get off the car before getting off.

She walked behind him, looking straight ahead without speaking a word. They entered the old residence.

Mother Meng greeted them first, stared at Meng Zhengrong carefully, and said with a little distress: “So thin, every time you go on a business trip you came home thin. You will bring a chef to the next business trip.”　　

“…” Meng Zhengrong touched his face, “Okay, next time I will listen to you.” 

Mother Meng coldly glanced at him, “You promised every time, but you still won’t do it the next time.” 

After saying this, Mother Meng noticed her daughter-in-law, and smiled, “Don’t mind Xiao Yuan. That’s what a mother is like. Naggy.”

As long as Xu Yuan pays attention to other people, she won’t be like a quail when facing Meng Zhengrong. She calmly said, “Mom, you are right, Zhengrong has lost weight. I was wondering if I could stay with you for dinner. The kitchen over there is not as meticulous as that at home.”

In the previous chat with Mrs. Xu, she could almost find out about Mother Meng’s character. Like all mothers in the world, she was distressed that her son could not eat well or sleep well. Meng Zhengrong had been away on business for so long, and Mother Meng must miss him very much. She took this opportunity to curry favor.

Have to say that Xu Yuan’s remarks affected Mother Meng. She wanted her son to live with them after marriage, but now the young couple wanted to go out and live alone. She didn’t want to be a nasty mother-in-law, so she agreed. She watched her son lose weight, not to mention worrying, but it’s not good for Meng Zhengrong to come to eat every day, for fear that Xu Yuan would have a problem. Now that Xu Yuan had said this, which directly refreshed her goodwill.

Meng Zhengrong looked somewhat surprised at Xu Yuan.

At this moment, Meng Pingting came over. First, she was enthusiastic and gave a charming kiss to Meng Zhengrong, and then she called sister-in-law at Xu Yuan in a lukewarm attitude.　　

Xu Yuan didn’t pay much attention and just smiled.

Meng Pingting casually found an excuse to drag Meng Zhengrong to the backyard, and mysteriously said, “Brother, I have something to tell you.”　

“Say it.” Meng Zhengrong glanced at her and did not believe that his sister could say anything constructive.

Meng Pingting was still young. When she heard her brother say this, she said, “Brother, you still don’t know, right?. Xu Yuan’s car crashed some time ago. Don’t look at me like this. She is fine for now, but the best is still behind. I heard my friend say that she deliberately crashed because she saw her ex-boyfriend in the car with another woman, and suddenly she hit them.”

Talking about Xu Yuan’s gossip, Meng Pingting was very excited and continued: “If it’s not her unforgettable love, then what is it? Now it’s a car crash. Who knows what she will do? Brother, you must pay attention to. To be honest, it embarrassed me that my sister-in-law ran into her ex-boyfriend’s car because of anger.”

After twittering what she wanted to say, Meng Pingting looked at Meng Zhengrong.

Meng Zhengrong’s look is very light, and it looks no different from just now, even with no emotional difficulties. He glanced at his sister and his voice was faint: “En, I see. ”

Meng Pingting looked at him in disbelief. He just ended the matter in a sentence ?!

Shouldn’t you be angry??

The author has something to say.：

It seems that there is a baby worried that the FL will be wronged …

This really won’t happen. The FL just hasn’t adapted to the ML and didn’t jump out of the previous role. It doesn’t mean that it will be the same for other people. In fact, it is an old fritter fried by trench oil (it sounds strange, but it has such a meaning). =v=

Also… ML is a man with great judgment, so you can rest assured =. =
